Richtee Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 MUCH..anymore, I still enjoy burning some powder quite often. One of my newer acquisitions. Well..new to me A 1936 S-42 (Mauser) Luger. 2
PeteyPyro Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Sweet. Always wanted one... and a 'broom handle' Mauser too. Heard that they are very accurate. .30 cal?
Jakenbake Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Very nice sir! We have one in my family never been fired.
Richtee Posted November 2, 2017 Author Posted November 2, 2017 Sweet. Always wanted one... and a 'broom handle' Mauser too. Heard that they are very accurate. .30 cal? Very accurate. 9MM Parabellum/Luger of course
Richtee Posted November 2, 2017 Author Posted November 2, 2017 Very nice sir! We have one in my family never been fired.Well..it it’s in great condition/original..perhaps ya should not fire it. Or..if it’s not..perhaps ya should not Take it to a competent gunsmith for evaluation. Mine has been restored. It’s a “shooter” and only worth in the area of $800-1000. Clean original models can easily be $2500+
OldMarine Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 The "Broomhandle" had a straight down grip with forward magazine. The one Ritchee purchased is a model based on the original Luger German combat pistol.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luger_pistolThe classic Mauser was a totally different weapon:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauser_C96
Richtee Posted November 3, 2017 Author Posted November 3, 2017 Indeed. It’s also demoted as a “P-08” for Pistole Parabellum 1908- as noted in the Wiki article. It’s interesting in it’s firing mechanism, the brass coming out the top. Indoor shooting is problematic. Hot brass tends to bounce off the ceiling and end up down your shirt collar
